You know if I like something, I will try to make it myself.\u00a0 I am pretty sure I’ve had Bacon Wrapped Dates before, but the ones I tried a couple of nights ago at Country Garden Caterer’s<\/a> Open House was so good that I just had to make some myself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don’t know how others make them, but this was how I did it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cook the bacon in the frying pan to rid the bacon fat as much as you can<\/li>\n
  2. Once the bacon is about 80% cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the grease<\/li>\n
  3. While the bacon is still warm and soft (if you wait until it cools too long, it might get too hard to wrap), cut the bacon in 1\/2<\/li>\n
  4. Wrap the date in bacon and secure with a toothpick (soak toothpicks in water beforehand)<\/li>\n
  5. Toast the bacon wrapped dates in toaster oven in medium low setting for 5 minutes or to your preference<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    I had them for afternoon snacks.\u00a0 Sooo yummy!\u00a0 Do you like Bacon Wrapped Dates?<\/p>\n
